In аn аttempt tо imprоve cаche perfоrmance, you try a new strategy. You think that because your L1 cache has a hit rate of 90%, you could improve the AMAT by randomly going straight to memory 10% of the time instead of first checking the L1 cache. Assuming the cache has a hit time of 5 cycles, and memory has an access time of 100 cycles, calculate the AMAT for this “improved” system.      Average Memory Access Time =                                                                               cycles
